Hawaii bankruptcy filings edged up 6.8% in February
Hawaii bankruptcy attorneys are seeing an uptick in phone calls in what could be the start of an upward trend in filings.
Although bankruptcies have declined 19 of the past 22 months from the year- earlier period, the number of cases filed have risen two of the past three months, according to data from U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Hawaii.
In February the number of bankruptcies rose 6.8% to 79 from 74 in the year- earlier period. The number of filings in December also were up year over year.
